CELINE LOUIS FERDINAND: (1894-1961) French Novelist. Known as Celine, his real name being Destouches, a controversial writer because of his anti-Semitism. A very good and lengthy A.L.S., with his initials `L.F.D´, four pages, folio, n.p, the 27th, n.d., to his brother Marcel, in French. Celine states in part `Oui sans doute Joulon is an admirable poet, mais lui globe-trotter acharné, s'il était venu nous voir depuis 5 ans, je l'aurais affranchi de bien des salades qui m'ont fait un tort énorme. Les malentendus, bevues, ignorances, naïvetés, mirages, miraculages, blablas, soigneusement entretenus, tu le sais, c'est pire que tout. Ça bat la campagne. A la fin on se retrouve couvert d'une légende de merde si bien épaisse qu'il y a plus qu'à te foutre à la fosse ! Et sans Te Deum!...´ ("Yes, no doubt Joulon is an admirable poet, but he is a relentless globetrotter, if he had come to see us 5 years ago, I would have freed him from many salads which have done me enormous harm. Misunderstandings, blunders, ignorance, naivety, mirages, miracles, blablas, carefully maintained, you know, it's worse than anything… At the end we find ourselves covered with a caption of shit so thick that there is more than to through you in the pit! And without Te Deum!...") a lengthy letter referring to a woman `an adorable fairy`, also to the Liberation, and saying before concluding `… j'ai pas de recours, je suis hors la loi !... Vive la mobilisation générale, l'amnistie générale, la bombe générale ! ça fera sortir les taupes des trous…´ ("…I have no recourse, I am outside the law!... Long live to the general mobilization, to the general amnesty, to the general bomb! it will get the moles out of the holes…") A letter of very interesting content. Small overall age wear and creasing, with few small tears to edges and a small repair to the second page edge. G
